Are you sure? Popup

Hello, i need something like this:

When you click on a link, it starts a function, instead of start it inmediatelly, i need a pop up window like that one to show up asking the user if he really want to proceed, if he press accept, it starts the function and closes the window, if he press cancel, it does nothing and closes the window.

Sorry about my bad english.

Code:

function makesure() {
  if (confirm('Your message goes here. Continue?')) {
     dosomething();
    //or return true;
  }
  else {
    return false;
  }
}

Then call the function like so:

Code:

<a href="something.html" onclick="return makesure();">Some Text</a>

Do you have a link to your page, or even if you post the code you are trying to implement it in, we can take a look.

**nicksalad** · 09-24-2007, 09:18 PM

Sorry, here's the code (i just created a blank page to test),

<?php

function makesure() {
if (confirm('Your message goes here. Continue?')) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}

echo '<a href="#" onclick="return makesure();">PopUp</a>';

?>

the link to my website is http://www.devilishmu.com/popup.php

Oh, sorry; but I should have been clearer. The code I posted above is a javascript function, not php. The way you would have to do it is like so:

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Whatever</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
 function makesure() {
  if (confirm('Your message goes here. Continue?')) {
    return true;
  }
  else {
    return false;
  }
 }
</script>
  </head>
<body>
 <a href="test.php" onclick="return makesure();">Go There</a>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps.

hehe, that would explain why when i searched on php.net for confirm() there wasn't any results

I will try now, thanks again.

EDIT: It works great, is there any way to change the title of the pop up? like WARNING or smth?

No, because it is part of the browser window and it is there for security purposes. The only way you could do something like that is by making a javascript function open a div that looks like that window. Other than that, sorry.

Hope this helps nonetheless.

Ok doesn't matter really, thanks you a lot.

Now, another thing, i might need to open a new thread...

Please check my registration form page (not agreement) http://www.devilishmu.com/?action=regme

Would be useless to add an image verification to the form?
